Thanks, I'm glad you like it! I'm a little sad that it omits a couple of things from the Zen that I have come to appreciate more in the past couple of years, but oh well. :-)

Thanks for the simple and clean zen of python poster! I was looking for something to hang in my office and was being frustrated by the deluge of pretty but unreadable posters.

Re: Mike Pirnat: PyCon 2016 Dates

I've been rewatching the video and can't find any explicit mention of venue:

http://pyvideo.org/video/34...

Presumably it will be at some kind of convention center though, given the size that PyCon has grown to. Given that it will be after school is out and has the holiday weekend AND has the potential for add-on family vacations AND it will be back to being domestic travel... I think it will probably be pretty big again. (Though my sense of "big" is skewed; my first PyCon had maybe 400 people, so anything else feels big.)

Any idea what venue it will be at?

i have done that and now i get the webfaction's default page : Coming soon: another fine website hosted by webfaction ... and nothing seems to work ... does this take a lot of time? Meanwhile i decided to use the http option and now the website is back to normal. What am i missing?

Morgs said it best. WOW! Best part is that I love them both equally so no problem at all but damn! I was praying I wasn't the only one who thought this. We all have well trained ears people.

Isn't this the same as what is known as "Pokémon handling"?

I noticed the similarities almost immediately. And loved them.

Murray Gold's Cyberman theme from the first soundtrack also sounds an awful lot like Ridley's Theme from Super Metroid. Check them out side by side some time.

Ahhhhh such an amazing song. I still get shivers listening to suicide mission

Your last example needs proper indenting at "make noise", and both at "do_something_that_might_throw_various_exceptions()".

Nah, pretty similar, slow down "I am the doctor" and you almost have the same song tbh.

Looks like it's supposed to be, but there's something wrong with the YouTube video for the song. Procatinator will pick a random cat if it has some problem loading the song. Unfortunately they leave the URL alone so it looks wrong. :-(

I thought this the moment I heard "I Am The Doctor"... "that's awesome... but that's also Mass Effect 2! WTF?!"

As for other "co-incidences" like this? "Phantom of the Opera" and the TV ad for the old computer game "Centipede"? Seriously, look it up on YouTube.

Its amazing what you can get if you combine the first video with the last one!

I was actually doing that for a bit last night as I was messing with this entry a little. It's really shocking how well it meshes together.

Re: Mike Pirnat: Mass Effect and Doctor Who: Separated at Composition?

Atomicuddle — Tue, 23 Apr 2013 13:04:40 -0000

In some parts you can actually play both songs at the same time... someone should make a remix using this stuff.

I heard it on Doctor Who first, so every time since the first time I played through the suicide mission I'm like "YERR I AM THE DOCTOR!" Sends chills down my spine every time haha.

I did a Monty Python reference in the opening of last year's talk: http://mike.pirnat.com/2012... The SlideShare version doesn't quite do it justice since it misses the animation, but I think you'll get the idea. :-)

To make it perfect, you need to replace python photo with "monty python" photo.. ;)
